Last week, Loeb told the Capitol Hill publication Roll Call that he was “seriously considering” a bid to unseat Democratic Florida Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012.

Loeb, the wealthy son of a former Ambassador to Denmark and owner of an environmental consulting firm, has been with Vergara for more than a year, according to People.

Vergara is again nominated this year for an Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy. She recently joked to Access Hollywood that she’s warned her beau not to “ruin” this year’s Emmy after-party with another accident.

An election announcement isn't likely ahead of Vergara’s big day on Sept. 18, according to reports.

Loeb told Roll Call he plans to make his decision by the end of September.
